Corbyn wants to reopen coal mines in South Wales. So with a healthy appreciation of the benefits of fossil fuels in creating jobs and wealth you might think he can’t be all bad. The catch is that the coal mines are uneconomic and he only favours the use of coal stripped of its carbon dioxide emissions.
Why aren't US progressive that clever?

Our progressives mocked the concept of clean coal if my memory serves me correctly.
With this Commander in chief? What are we going to do? Send James Taylor? Beyonce? Barbara Streisand?
To allow China to continue to expand its role and expectations invites future conflict on a larger scale.
China has continued its aggressive actions in the South China Sea. Events from ramming Vietnamese fishing boats to continued dredging and land reclamation demonstrate aggressive intent, bad faith and disrespect for their regional neighbors. It is clear from these actions that Bejing has no intent on reversing course or even finding a middle-ground, arbitrated approach to their territorial claims in the South China Sea. The United States, in cooperation with its allies and partners in the Western Pacific, needs to step up its response.

CHINA as a "US-style", "US-par", OWG Co-SUperpower wants want the Cold War-era US + USSR had, + the US still has, i.e. "strategic access" via overseas Milbases for the PLA + Econ hubs, which China has NOT been getting in East Asia-Pacific + IOR due to the bulk of the countries in these Region(s) being either pro-US/West, andor US,West-leaning NAM Nations.
As long as China doesn't shoot first at US Regional Allies, IMO Beijing is counting on mighty "red line" defender" + Anti-US US Globalist POTUS Obama + aligned NOT to stop China's activities in the SCS, ECS [Japan], + IOR [Indo-Pak]. BE IT CHINA, PUTINIST RUSSIA, + IRAN, GLOBALIST OBAMA WILL ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND + FORM THIER OWN [Core]"SPHERE(S) OF INFLUENCE" AS BEFITTING A USoAMERIKA CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLING.
Many MSM-Net Perts-Bloggers are considering the desired EEZS-SEZS of the Philippines, Vietnam, ASEAN + Nippon to be all but officially lost vee China + the Bammer's PCorrect-Deniable "non-action/inaction" agz China. IFF US REGIONAL ALLIES WANT THEIR EEZS-SEZS OR OTHER BACK, THEY'LL HAVE TO MILITARILY FIGHT CHINA TO DO SO, + WIDOUT GUARANTY THAT GLOBALIST AMERIKA WILL BE THERE TO BACK THEIR SIX AS OBAMA DID VEE THE ANTI-ASSAD SYRIAN REBELS.
* NATIONAL INTEREST > THE BUZZ: ON DISPLAY: CHINA'S MASTER PLAN TO SINK THE US NAVY.
Or, more accurately or realistically, DETER + KEEP THE US NAVY + USDOD FAR AWAY OTH FROM THE MAIN THEATERS OF CONFLICT.
ARTIC = denotes that China has tested the DF-26 BM that can strike at GUAM, + DF-5 ICBM that can hit anywhere in the US.
Again, as per China fighting wars for strategic access vee the "First Island Chain" [US Allies], IMO China will prioritize trying to keep the US out of any military conflict ASAP AMAP ALAP between it + various US Regional Allies. THIS IS EXCLUSIVE OF ANY PRE-EXISTING OR PARALLEL ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST AGENDA TO HELP CHINA, RUSSIA, + IRAN ATTAIN OR EXPAND THEIR "SPHERE(S) OF INFLUENCE" TO THE DETRIMENT OF US ALLIES + US "SOLE" STRATEGIC INTERESTS.
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US OUTRAGED AT CHINA RUNAWAY [aircraft runway] CONSTRUCTION IN SOUTH CHINA SEA.
What is mighty "red line" defender + Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama going to do about it???

[DAWN] IN Pakistain, it is easy to forget even the ghastliest of tragedies due to the unrelenting nature of the news cycle. With terrorism, corruption and disasters -- both natural and man-made -- dominating the headlines, other issues, of equal importance, often recede into the background. If you've got that many in one place chances are good you've got some in lots of places.
This also seems to be the case with the Kasur child sexual abuse horror. Which makes it all the more important for civil society and the media to keep reminding the state about this monstrous crime.
In this regard, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistain has done well by conducting a fact-finding probe into the matter. What the HRCP found should prompt the state to speed up its investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice without delay.
The report says it received "credible testimonies" that pointed to years of "large-scale sexual abuse of children" in Kasur's Husain Khanwala village.
The team also found that the victims' families had been intimidated to keep quiet after the abuse was filmed and were forced to pay extortion money to the perpetrators. What should be of particular concern to the state's Sherlocks are indications that some of the local police officials were apparently in collusion with the criminals.
The violation of even a single child is unacceptable; in this case possibly 300 children were sexually abused and humiliated -- some as young as 10 -- over a five- to six-year period.
Hence, considering the magnitude of this outrage, it would be simply unforgivable for state and society to let this crime go unpunished.
The joint investigation team formed by the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... chief minister needs to dig deep and conduct a detailed, transparent investigation. If an independent human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... body was able to uncover such details, there should be nothing stopping the state -- with all the resources at its disposal -- to get to the bottom of the matter.
However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... care must be taken so that the victims' identities are not made public and their privacy is protected. Additionally, the state must provide the victims with qualified medical and psychological help.
Tragedies occur and, after the initial shock, are soon forgotten. But we must not let the Kasur outrage recede into the background.
Justice demands that the criminals who violated these children are brought to book while the administrative and law-enforcement machinery across this nation needs to be shaken up to crack down on the abuse and sexual assault of minors -- which is by no means a limited phenomenon in Pakistain.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
